I am a music creator/composer in Pittsburgh, PA. I am currently the Area Coordinator for the Composition for Media degree at Duquesne University's Mary Pappert School of Music. Before my current role, I was an Assistant Band Director in the Kiski Area School District (2013 - 2019) and Director of Bands at Norwin High School (2007 – 2013). ​
I have had incredible students over the years. I am proud to have been recognized through the "St. Vincent College Great Teacher Recognition Program" and a Grammy Foundation Music Educator Award Quarterfinalist nomination. In addition to composing and conducting, I continue to value K-12 music educators' vital role in our society and work to provide design, program, and instructional resources for music and arts programs. I feel fortunate every time I have the opportunity to interact with musical groups across the country.

I reside just outside of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with my life partner, Bethany, and our fantastic kids, Gavan & Maia.

​Thank you for visiting! I hope you find something we can collaborate on!​
